Re: Where are the economists?

Beginning with the Kennedy administration, large numbers of economists
penetrated the highest reaches of government -- far more so than during
the New Deal.  I remember in issue of Life Magazine or Look Magazine
from during the Kennedy years with a cover plastered with pictures of
all the economists in major government positions.


Walt Whitman Rostow is a very good development economist and economic
historian. But I wouldn't call his tenure as Assistant to the
President for National Security a big win...
